Conclusion – Well that was my first game with the Ogre Kingdoms in their new incarnation and I was pretty happy with the result.  I’ts certainly interesting going from any army that can’t do much to one that has to worry about psychology and of course now I have charge reactions.  Those Ironguts hit like a tonne of bricks and have th flexibility of two MFC was a great way to put the pressure on my brother.
